Tips on taming a robo
I got my first robo hamster about 3 - 4 weeks ago now and would like to get him used to be handled so i can give him health checks. He is so tiny and fast i cant get my hand anywhere near him without him darting around the cage he also refuses to come out of hiding until the lights are off and we have gone to bed which is like at 1am so i never really see him. He jumps at every noise. I cant use the bath technique as we have a shower. So far i have just waited for him to go into one of his tubes then i pick it up and slide him on to my hand and let him sit there but he gets in such i panic so i quickly put him back down i have managed to get him to take treats from my hand a couple of times he will come up snatch it off me quick and then make a mad dash for it.
So does anyone have any tips that will help me with my skittish little hammy?
